Tips To Efficiently Improve Your Self Directed Learning Skills

By Zelma Hurley


As a human, there are lots of things which you surely want to do. You may wish to read more, become bilingual, or even pick up a musical instrument. However, there are those who dream of doing things but are unable to pursue it because they think that they need a teacher for it and they have no money to afford for one.

However, not everyone can afford paying for one. In such cases, then you just have to personally teach yourself. You need motivation to do that though. If you opt to choose yourself, then you have to teach yourself first with the self directed learning skills. Here are those tips to remember in this regard.

The first step that they can do for this is to improve focus. As much as possible, the person should try to get over the multitasking paralysis that he or she suffers from. While you may have a lot of stuff that you want to take up and learn, you will never be able to learn anything if you do not set your eyes on them one at a time.

If you have already chosen the field that you can focus on, you should then define it. This just means that you have to create a structure that you will follow through goal setting. If you have a goal that you aim to achieve, then it should be easier for you to set a path which you will want to step on to achieve that.

Make little steps. When you want to learn something, you cannot just take a giant leap for it. You have to work what you want to learn little by little, just like baby steps. That little steps will eventually accumulate until you notice that you have already learned what you want to learn. These little steps will become your foundation.

You should learn about pre-existing systems as well. These are the systems that are necessary for those stuff that you are planning to achieve. When these pre-existing systems become known to you, you should not underestimate them. Instead, you have to make sure to latch on to all of these pre-existing systems.

In that pre-existing system, you can surely find different tools and techniques. These are tools and techniques that can help you make a much better structure for the stuff you want to learn about. When you find these tools and techniques, you should promptly and meticulously test them out for their effectiveness.

Increase the stakes. Even if you have enough willpower to move forward, that alone is not sufficient for reaching your goals. You need other ingredients if you want to make a pot of success. Commitment is one of them. Other ingredients to add would be incentives and accountability.

It will do you good to talk about what you are doing. Refrain from telling other people what you are going to do, though. It will seem more real if you just let them know what you are doing and revealing the output when done.
